    Ep 87: Procrastination Isn’t the Problem — Misaligned Systems Are

    Procrastination isn’t a character flaw—and it’s not a lack of motivation.  In this episode of The Shattered Mindset Podcast, Melvin Larry challenges the way we label ourselves when we feel stuck and offers a deeper, more compassionate reframe.  If you’re capable, experienced, and still finding yourself hesitating, delaying, or overthinking, this conversation is for you. This episode explores why procrastination is often a signal of misalignment, friction, overload, or outdated systems—and how clarity usually follows movement, not the other way around.  This is a grounded, reflective episode for people navigating the middle chapters of life, work, and purpose—where motivation fades, but meaning still matters.  Listen for insight on:  Why motivation is unreliable and systems matter moreHow overthinking and perfection quietly create delayThe role of environment, structure, and identity in momentumWhy procrastination is feedback, not failure #ShatteredMindset  #Procrastination  #MindsetShift  #PersonalGrowth  #SystemsOverMotivation   Support the Show LIKE SUBSCRIBE SHARE LEAVE A COMMENT   Watch / Listen 🎥 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@theshatteredmindset 🎧 Listen to the podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2397083 Connect with Melvin 📲 Instagram: @MelvinLarry1 📘 Facebook: Melvin.Larry 🎵 TikTok: @MelvinLarry118 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melvinlarry 🐦 X (Twitter): https://x.com/MelvinLarry Watch Next ▶️ Ep 51: The Mental Toughness Advantage ▶️ Ep 42: Why Your Past Is Not Your Prison   (Aligned themes: mindset, friction, identity, and movement.)  If this episode challenged how you’ve been interpreting procrastination, take a moment to reflect—not on what’s wrong with you, but on what might be out of alignment.  Then LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, SHARE, and LEAVE A COMMENT with what resonated most.  Support the show WATCH VIDEO EPISODES on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheShatteredMindset SUPPORT THIS PODCAST AT: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2397083/support

    Ep 86: What Shaped Your Mindset Before You Knew It

    We like to believe we chose who we are.  But much of how we think, react, and decide was shaped long before we were aware it was happening. In this episode of The Shattered Mindset Podcast, Melvin Larry explores the invisible influences—culture, upbringing, environment, education, and life experiences—that quietly form the beliefs we carry into adulthood. This isn’t about blame.  It’s about clarity. Because once you understand where your mindset came from, you’re finally in a position to decide what still belongs—and what no longer serves the person you’re becoming. In this conversation, you’ll hear: Why mindset isn’t about motivation or positive thinkingHow culture and environment silently teach us what’s “possible”The role exposure and mentors play in expanding beliefWhy awareness—not motivation—is the real starting point for growthHow to reclaim authorship of your life instead of living on autopilotIf you’ve ever felt like certain patterns keep repeating, or that parts of your thinking don’t fully reflect who you want to be today, this episode will help you see your story more clearly—and choose what comes next. 🎧 Listen to the Podcast https://www.buzzsprout.com/2397083 ▶️ Watch on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@theshatteredmindset 📲 Connect with Me Facebook: Melvin.Larry  Instagram: @MelvinLarry1  TikTok: @MelvinLarry118  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melvinlarry  X / Twitter: https://x.com/MelvinLarry Recommended Episodes Ep 42: Why Your Past Is Not Your PrisonEp 51: The Mental Toughness AdvantageSupport the Show LIKE  SUBSCRIBE  SHARE  LEAVE A COMMENT Support the show WATCH VIDEO EPISODES on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheShatteredMindset SUPPORT THIS PODCAST AT: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2397083/support

    Ep 85: Growth Doesn’t Always Look Like Motion

    Some experiences don’t change your direction — they confirm it.  In this episode of The Shattered Mindset Podcast, Melvin Larry reflects on his second year attending Podfest 2026 in Orlando. This is not a recap of sessions or speakers. It’s a reflection on what becomes visible when growth matures, urgency fades, and clarity begins to lead.  Through quiet moments, meaningful reconnections, and honest self-observation, Melvin explores how growth often becomes less about adding and more about refining. You’ll hear why clarity matters more than volume, alignment matters more than activity, and why quiet seasons don’t mean you’re stuck — they often mean you’re integrating.  This episode includes two embedded video reflections recorded during Podfest, along with a short in-the-moment conversation with Alicia Couri, offering continuity from a relationship first formed at Podfest the year before.  If you’ve felt things getting quieter in your life, business, or creative journey — this conversation may help you understand why that’s not a setback, but a signal.  🎧 Listen to the full podcast audio on Buzzsprout:  https://www.buzzsprout.com/2397083   ✅ Subscribe and watch on YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@theshatteredmindset   📲 Connect with Me on Social Media:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melvinlarry1  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/melvin.larry  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@melvinlarry118  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melvinlarry  X (Twitter): https://x.com/MelvinLarry    Support the Show  LIKE  SUBSCRIBE  SHARE  LEAVE A COMMENT   Recommended Episodes  Ep 83: Quiet Signals Before ChangeEp 51: The Mental Toughness Advantage  If this episode resonated with you, don’t rush past it.  Let it sit.  Pay attention to what’s been getting quieter in your life — and what that may be telling you.   Support the show WATCH VIDEO EPISODES on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheShatteredMindset SUPPORT THIS PODCAST AT: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2397083/support

    Ep 84: The Power of Being Truly Heard and Understood with Daniel Kobryner

    What if success isn’t the problem — but silence is?  What happens when you’ve checked all the boxes… and still feel disconnected? In this deeply reflective conversation, Melvin Larry sits down with Daniel Kobryner, a former global business leader turned Mental Fitness Coach and host of Redesign Your Life Today. Daniel spent more than three decades living a high-performance life filled with responsibility, travel, and outward success — yet quietly felt something was missing. In this episode, he opens up about the subtle inner shifts that often come before major life change, the hidden cost of perfectionism, and why productivity without purpose eventually leads to disconnection. Together, Melvin and Daniel explore: Why burnout often shows up as quiet disengagementHow early life conditioning shapes adult patternsThe role of saboteurs like perfectionism, hyper-achievement, and fearWhy procrastination is emotional, not lazyThe difference between chasing success and attracting alignmentWhat it truly means to be heard, seen, and understood — without judgmentThis conversation is not about doing more.  It’s about listening more honestly — to yourself, your life, and what’s quietly asking for change. If you’re accomplished, capable, and still sensing that something is “off,” this episode will meet you right where you are.

    Ep 83: The Quiet Signals Life Sends Before Change

    Life doesn’t usually force change out of nowhere.  It whispers first — and most of us explain those whispers away. Life rarely shocks us without warning. In this solo episode of The Shattered Mindset Podcast, Melvin Larry explores the quiet signals that appear long before life forces change — in business, career, relationships, health, and personal growth. These signals don’t arrive as emergencies.  They show up as repetition, emotional flatness, internal tension, over-rationalizing, resentment, and a shift in how time feels. You may be succeeding on the outside, advancing in your career, or maintaining important relationships — yet sensing something feels off. This episode unpacks why that feeling isn’t restlessness or failure, but information asking to be acknowledged. Melvin explains how discipline without awareness can turn into endurance for the wrong thing, how limiting beliefs disguise themselves as wisdom, and why learning to listen earlier allows change to be thoughtful instead of forced. You’ll also hear about The Quiet Signals Guide, a reflective companion resource designed to help you recognize these signals before life gets loud. This episode is not about drastic decisions.  It’s about awareness, honesty, and listening to what’s been quietly showing up. #ShatteredMindset #LifeLessons #PersonalGrowth #SelfAwareness #CareerClarity 🎧 Listen to The Shattered Mindset Podcast (Audio): https://www.buzzsprout.com/2397083 📺 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@theshatteredmindset Recommended Episodes : Ep 78: When Life Whispers Before It ShoutsEp 80: Tenacity Is a Business SchoolConnect with Melvin Larry Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/melvin.larry Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melvinlarry1 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@melvinlarry118 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melvinlarry X (Twitter): https://x.com/MelvinLarry If this episode resonated with you, LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, SHARE, and LEAVE A COMMENT with what you’ve been quietly noticing in your own life.

    Ep 82: Your Body Is a Messenger of Belief with Dr. Leona Allen

    What if your body isn’t failing you—but communicating with you?  In this episode of The Shattered Mindset Podcast, Melvin Larry sits down with Dr. Leona Allen for a powerful, grounded conversation about how mindset, life lessons, and limiting beliefs show up physically in our lives.  This isn’t a conversation about men’s issues or women’s issues. It’s about human issues—identity, rejection, performance, pressure, and the silent beliefs we carry from childhood into adulthood. Dr. Leona shares how early experiences shape our beliefs, how achievement alone doesn’t heal internal wounds, and why the body often becomes the messenger when we ignore what’s happening beneath the surface.  Together, they explore:  How limiting beliefs form earlier than we realizeWhy many people try to “perform” their way into acceptanceHow pain can become a pathway to powerWhy movement, awareness, and belief matter more than credentialsHow emotional and mental stress shows up physicallyWhat it means to stop owning labels like “my diabetes” or “my blood pressure” This episode is especially relevant for men and women navigating middle of life transitions—changing health, shifting identity, evolving purpose, and the quiet realization that something deeper needs attention.   If something in this conversation resonates, don’t rush past it. Sit with it. That’s often where real transformation begins.     Guest Information   Dr. Leona Allen Website: https://www.drleona.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DrLeonaAllen Podcast: The Heal Deal Podcast (available on all major platforms)     Support this Show - LIKE - SUBSCRIBE - SHARE - LEAVE A COMMENT   Your engagement helps this message reach the people who need it most.     Recommended Episodes  Ep 80: Tenacity Is a Business SchoolEp 79: The New Middle  LISTEN to the podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2397083  WATCH on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@theshatteredmindset  Connect with Melvin:  📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/melvin.larry  📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melvinlarry1  🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@melvinlarry118  💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melvinlarry  🐦 X (Twitter): https://x.com/MelvinLarry   Support the show WATCH VIDEO EPISODES on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheShatteredMindset SUPPORT THIS PODCAST AT: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2397083/support

    Ep 81: Letting People Overhear Me Think

    There are moments in life when you stop rushing forward and finally pause long enough to notice where you’ve been, what shaped you, and who you’re becoming. In this deeply reflective episode of The Shattered Mindset Podcast, Melvin Larry sets aside teaching, tactics, and structure to simply talk out loud. No polished outline. No agenda. Just a thoughtful look at life, work, faith, discipline, purpose, legacy, and the quiet lessons that only time can teach. Recorded during the holiday season, this episode explores what happens when you: Stop performing and start believingLook at your whole life instead of one chapterRecognize that discipline, commitment, and humility shape us long before results doUnderstand that contribution matters more than being knownRealize that presence, not titles, is what people rememberThis is not an episode about having everything figured out.  It’s about letting people overhear you thinking, reflecting honestly, and giving yourself permission to pause. Whether you’re in your 30s, 40s, 50s, or beyond, this conversation is an invitation to slow down, assess your direction, and recommit to what truly matters.

    Ep 80: Why Tenacity Trains What Talent Can’t

    What if the real education for success doesn’t come from books, seminars, or certifications?  In this episode of The Shattered Mindset Podcast, Melvin P. Larry breaks down a powerful truth that emerged from a simple observation—and a single Instagram comment that resonated with thousands:  “Tenacity, by itself, is a business school.”  This episode explores why so many intelligent, talented, and capable people quit early—not because they can’t do the work, but because their “I Quit” level shows up before commitment does.  You’ll hear reflections on:  Why tenacity is trained, not just inheritedThe difference between staying enrolled and actively engagingHow unfinished projects quietly erode self-trustWhy finishing builds identity, not just resultsThe hidden cost of passive endurance versus active commitment This is a grounded, reflective conversation for entrepreneurs, leaders, and anyone navigating the middle of life—where clarity is earned through pressure, not motivation.   If you’ve ever felt stuck, stalled, or quietly disengaged from something that once mattered, this episode will help you reconnect to the discipline of finishing and the integrity of your own word.    🎧 Listen to the Podcast  https://www.buzzsprout.com/2397083   ▶️ Watch on YouTube  https://www.youtube.com/@theshatteredmindset   📲 Connect with Melvin  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melvinlarry1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/melvin.larry TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@melvinlarry118 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melvinlarry X (Twitter): https://x.com/MelvinLarry Support the Show   LIKE  SUBSCRIBE  SHARE  LEAVE A COMMENT     🔁 Recommended Episodes   Ep 51: The Mental Toughness AdvantageEp 36: Confidence in Uncertainty  #Tenacity  #MindsetMatters  #PersonalGrowth  #Discipline  #Leadership   Support the show WATCH VIDEO EPISODES on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheShatteredMindset SUPPORT THIS PODCAST AT: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2397083/support
